Social Security Benefits
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how much her Department spent on in-work benefits in the last 12 months.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
There are no DWP benefits remaining that are solely payable to claimants in-work. Many allow for some element of earnings to be combined with benefit receipt, and the level of this spend on working as opposed to non-working claimants varies across different benefits.
